New user interfaces in front of existing processes have not really given businesses any additional insight or control.

I may be wrong but...
Explanation:
I suspect several of the answerers have misunderstood the meaning of the English text. Provided it was written by a native speaker "in front of" couldn't possibly mean "frente a", "versus", nor is "dados los procesos existentes..." the right meaning. What I THINK this text is talking about is providing a new user interface (an interface between the USER and a PROCESS) which mediates between the two and is therefore "in front of" the existing process. The literal translation would be "delante de". Unfortunately I'm not good enough at computer technology terminology (not my specialty) to know how this would normally be expressed in English computer jargon, but I think that's the idea. As I say I could be wrong - but I suspect I'm not!

que se incorporaron a / que se integraron a / que ahora son parte de


Explanation:
Creo que es una forma idiomática de decir que ahora ya son parte de los procesos existentes.

Suerte y saludos.

La incorporación de nuevas interfaces de usuario a procesos existentes no le ha proporcionado


Explanation:
Para mi, quiere decir que por incorporar una nueva interfaz de usuario a un proceso que ya existe, eso no brinda control adicional al negocio (Ya que es el mismo proceso de antes, con una nueva presentacion frente al usuario)
Suerte!
